How much did Drudge change?

Friday 18th January 2008 · No Comments

Justin McKeating of Chicken Yoghurt offers a counterpoint to Guido’s love letter to Drudge over on Liberal Conspiracy. I can’t read such a superb introduction without passing it on:

Yesterday marked the tenth anniversary of American blogger Matt Drudge breaking the story of the Monica Lewinsky affair. Things were never the same again. The world was rocked to its foundations by the astounding news that older men like getting their knobs sucked by younger women.

There were many crimes committed by the Clinton Whitehouse. However, I don’t think there are many sane people in the world who think Bill getting a nosh from an intern was one of them. Or at least one of the major ones. How the odd happy finish from Monica impeded the Clinton presidency before right-wing prurience attempted to derail it has never been adequately explained to me.

The article is well worth a full read.
